Shoutboard

I came across these quotes from famous photographers, and these are the ones which I feel connected.

My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain.
---Helmut Newton
I like girls who are just starting. They have not been formed, they have no routine, they have not been in front of the camera.
---Helmut Newton
An original is a creation motivated by desire. Any reproduction of an originals motivated be necessity. It is marvelous that we are the only species that creates gratuitous forms. To create is divine, to reproduce is human.
---Man Ray
Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
---Man Ray
A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.
---Irving Penn
When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track.
---Arthur Fellig
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
---Cecil Beaton

    ==============================================

    I have been getting asked a lot of questions and I am sorry I can't answer to all of them because of time constraints but here are some answers in general ..

    - I am using Canon 5D with Canon lenses
    - In most of my shots I use natural light. No flash, no lighting set-up
    - My models for my personal projects are ordinary people that I happen to meet in real life or cyberspace. For most of them, it is their first time in front of the camera in a professional photoshoot.
    - My models for my fashion photography are professionals mostly with model agencies.
    - You can use my photos for your own personal projects and blogs as long as they are not commercial. If they are for commercial use, please email me first at hakanphotography@gmail.com . Please credit my official website [link] , not my deviantart account.
